The POinte COupee Banner hay
ing been classcd by contemporary
rs a McEnery paper, states that it
has never vet declared its pref
erencc for the Governorship, but
it adds:
AS between Gen. Nichols and
Gov. McEnery we cannot hesitate
a moment in making our choice.
and our decided preference is for
S. ID. McEnery. Even were we to
leave all party considerations
aside, we have the best OF reasons
for this preference, and that is the
material prosperity of the State,
Both of these men have been tried
as Governor, and the result has
been that under Nichols the State
has languiShed, while under Nc
Emery it has taken the high road to
prosperity. The Louisiana of to-
day is as different from the Lonisi-
ana of eight years ago as day is
from night. We have no desire to
criticize Gen. Nichols, but his over
jealous boomers, such as the
Shreveport Times, are taking just
the course calculated to build mp
the strongest kind of opposition to
him. We are satisfied that he can
justly eXclaim: "Save me from my
friendS.'

Mr.. POwderly, the head of the
organization of WOrklngmen in
the United States, puts himself on
record in favor Of temperance, in
the following eloquent words: The
firmest link in the chain ofoppres-
sion is the one l forge when l
drown manhood and reason in
drink. No man can rob me Of the
brain my God has given me unless
| am a party to the theft. If l
drink to drown grief, bring grief
to wife, child and sorrowing friends.
/ add not one iOta to the sum of
happiness when l invite oblivion
over the rim of a glass. If one
moments fOrgetfulness or inatten-
ton to duty while drunk brings
defeat to the least of labor's plans,
a lifetime ofattention to duty alone
can repair loss. l promise never
again to put myself in such a
poslton. If every member of the
Kni8 hts of Labor would only pass
q rekolution to boycott strong
IlrinA so far as he is concerned for
five years, and would pledge his
word to study the labor question
from its different standpoints,
we would then have an irwin
,ible host arrayed On the side of
Justice.
